Over the past few years, I have had the true pleasure of working with Giancarlo Alcover on a multitude of projects. Giancarlo is a natural leader who immediately earns the respect of teammates and clients through his demeanor, intelligence, and consistent delivery of superior work products. Giancarlo always anticipates clients needs before they even ask, and he continually looks for process improvement opportunities. He is innovative, driven, hardworking, and a true team player. I have worked with Giancarlo both as an employee he supervises and as a colleague. He is respectful and clear in his directions, and is always willing to clarify and teach others. He has impeccable project management skills, Lean Six Sigma implementation, and financial analysis experience. I would recommend Giancarlo for any position, as he is constantly learning, willing to take on new challenges, and a trusted team member.
